Chelsea ‘offered £15m deal’ for Fenerbahce striker Emmanuel Emenike

Chelsea’s move for Emmanuel Emenike could be set to go ahead after Fenerbahce reportedly offered the Nigeria star to the Blues for £15m.

Chelsea’s interest in the striker emerged last week, with the 27-year-old impressing in his nation’s run to the last 16 of the World Cup, where they were narrowly beaten by France.

Emenike scored 11 goals in 27 appearances in the Turkish Super Lig last season and could be the first forward to join Jose Mourinho’s squad-overhaul this summer.

Chelsea are set to part ways with Samuel Eto’o, whose contract expired yesterday, while the futures of Fernando Torres, Demba Ba and Romelu Lukaku remain up in the air.

Mourinho looks certain to add Atletico Madrid hitman Diego Costa to his side this summer, with the Blues having agreed a £32m deal with the Spanish champions, while they are also said to be eyeing up Mario Mandzukic and Pierre Emerick Aubameyang.
